TOGETHER we can do SO MUCH

WE COULD TELL YOU HOW EXCEPTIONAL OUR CODING DEPARTMENTS ARE.
Or how our coders strive for excellence as they demonstrate their commitment to their physicians and billing departments. We could talk about the facilities we code for like Vanderbilt University Hospital, Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, including adult and pediatric Emergency Departments, the Psychiatric Hospital at Vanderbilt, the Skilled Nursing Facility and Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital.

But what really sets us apart are the people who work here and the way we work. Our philosophy doesn’t just focus on what one can do individually, but what we can do together. We recognize the contribution all disciplines make to code efficiently and correctly . We provide a Coding Boot Camp to equip you prior to beginning your position with Vanderbilt Medical Group.

We collaborate. If you have an opinion, share it. If you have a question, ask it. At Vanderbilt Medical Group Coding & Charge Entry, we do more than encourage your input. We value and expect it.

ANOTHER THING THAT MAKES US UNIQUE IS OUR INQUISITIVE NATURE.
We never stop asking questions. Because, for all of our medical advancements which provide greater coding opportunities, there’s always a better way to improve our coding and strengthen our knowledge. With every question, come answers through our resource materials in the library provided for the coders, our educational classes and coding workshops which are provided at no cost to our VMG Coding & Charge Entry Department as well as provisions for CEU’s to be obtained for your credentials.

We have team meetings to build a stronger unit and to come up with ways that we can enrich our work environment and improve services for our physicians and billing departments. At Vanderbilt, asking isn’t just a question, asking is the answer.

This attitude has helped make us Nashville’s leading hospital. And a leader does things a bit differently. A leader makes a difference, keeps promises and, most importantly, never stops asking questions. Because being the best means never being satisfied. That’s why we constantly ask ourselves what we can do better.

THE NAME VANDERBILT IS HIGHLY RESPECTED WITHIN THE CODING COMMUNITY.
In fact, Vanderbilt has been ranked among U.S. News and World Report’s list of America’s Best Hospitals for several years in a row. This year we were one of only 17 hospitals nationwide to make their Honor Roll. We also received the Consumer Choice award in Nashville and were named one of the Top 100 Hospitals nationally. Vanderbilt is the best hospital for everything from cardiac and cancer care to digestive disorders.

Likewise, our doctors and specialists are recognized as leaders in their fields. So the learning opportunities are practically unlimited. Think about it. You’ll be working alongside some of the brightest minds in medicine. And because we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of medicine, you’ll be able to witness pioneering techniques firsthand.

AT VANDERBILT, CODING IS A HIGHLY RESPECTED PROFESSION.
Its foundation is based on a well-developed professional practice of coding that provides ongoing opportunities for the professional development of your coding knowledge and skills. Our Cancer Center is one of only 40 in the entire country that are designated Comprehensive by the National Cancer Institute. And we offer 17 pediatric specialty services at the Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital alone, including a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. With such a depth and breadth of services, you can take a new job, tackle new challenges, and find an organization where you can build your career. All without leaving Vanderbilt Medical Group.

The benefits of working at Vanderbilt extend well beyond the work itself. In addition to a competitive pay structure, we offer a generous tuition assistance program that gives you and your dependents a 70% discount for up to three children. And that discount applies at any school you choose, not just Vanderbilt.

We also offer numerous opportunities to promote your health wellness, health insurance options that include dental and vision, and personal spending accounts. Our retirement plan offers immediate 100% vestment that matches your contributions dollar for dollar. And we offer flexible scheduling and continuing education opportunities, as well as generous vacation, holiday, and sick leave benefits.

And at Vanderbilt, being focused on health and wellness doesn’t just apply to our patients. We also have a strong commitment to the quality of work life and the well-being of our staff. We focus our efforts not only on recruitment, but also on the retention of quality coding personnel.

NASHVILLE IS A FUN, ENERGETIC METROPOLIS LOCATED IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE.
Of course, you probably know us as the country music capital of the world. Indeed, one of our most famous attractions is the Ryman Auditorium, home of the Grand Ole Opry. But there’s more to Nashville than meets the ear. For starters, Nashville is a great place to raise a family. We have small neighborhoods lined with charming, affordable homes. And within these neighborhoods, you’ll find local shops and restaurants. We also have a great school system and tons of recreational attractions.

Visitors come to Nashville throughout the year to see tourist attractions in and around the city, including the Frist Center, Cheekwood Botanical Gardens and the Grassmere Zoo. For sports enthusiasts, the city has plenty to offer, from professional football and hockey to auto racing and intercollegiate athletics, minor league baseball and soccer. And when you want to get away from it all, there are many places to go in Middle Tennessee. You can take day trips to antebellum homes or hike through the state’s abundant forests and hills.

You’ll soon find that Vanderbilt isn’t the only thing that’s world-class in Nashville. After all, the city itself is filled with friendly people, good food and wonderful music. All of which make it a vibrant all-American city.

THE ADVANCES IN MEDICINE AND TREATMENT THAT TAKE PLACE EVERY DAY AT VANDERBILT CHALLENGE CODING TO AN ALL TIME HIGH and make us a leader in the industry. We’ve earned the respect of our peers, and with our staff, are constantly advancing the way we strive for excellence in coding. Yet we are as close as any family, sharing in the rewards of working here and always learning from each other. But close as we are, we’re always willing to widen the circle to include someone else. As an academic institution, we can embrace those who are new to the profession, as well as the experienced. But whatever the level, we take pride in providing a level of orientation and education that will build and develop your career.
